I think that using gecko based browsers like Firefox is the best thing to do in the short term. But having no competition is a bad thing. So supporting new web engines, like Ladybird, is important too: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird

And there is still the 14 eyes agreement

It doesn’t interoperate well with FOSS software like K9 and Thunderbird.

Thank you for your comment. Since I deactivated Google Play services, I don’t get notifications on many apps. I didn’t know there were alternatives. Unfortunately, the app server must be compatible, but if I can have it at least for Telegram with this fork, it would be a good start. I’ll take time to compare the different alternatives and see if other push servers are compatible with more apps.

For what I understand, there are self hosted push servers, like NextPush that works on Nextcloud, and some that provide you a server, liked ntfy. For the latter, you have to check the privacy policy to see if it’s better than the default Google firebase server.

In some countries, you need an ID to buy a sim card, so it’s linked to your identity, even if you pay cash.

I vote for political parties that are explicitly against facial recognition when possible (always a small party that nobody knows). I use cash.

Libretube works for me, but not Tubular.

Glad to see you use cash. It’s often forgotten in privacy advice, despite being one of the most importants.

I think my first donation would be to GrapheneOS.

A few years ago, I’ve read an article where the journalists investigated this. They asked to Facebook it they actually do it and Facebook confirmed.

But it’s clear that Google has a history of building products with RSS and killing the RSS support once it’s established a user base.

Not only RSS. It was the same with XMPP, and probably other things I don’t remember now. Better don’t rely on Google products.

The announcer (the enterprise on the ad) pays to the advertising platform (for example Google) which gives a small amount to the site displaying the ad.

I installed Tubular today. It’s a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock. Is it the same thing or a different fork?

The multilingual support always predict words in all languages, even if you started a sentence in a specific one. And it will follow the typo rules of the first language in the list. For example, if the first language is French, it will add a space before the interrogation mark (French rule), even if you’re writing in English.

The library is closed source.

Phind had an open source model, but the web interface isn’t open source.

Hundreds of partners is very common in news paper sites

Close the app and find another one.

Is it part of the apps that have been recently sold to a commercial company? If so, you have to uninstall it and download the “Fossify” equivalent to keep the open source version.

The argument that Debian doesn’t have the latest packages is only valid for stable repository, right?

Wouldn’t Debian with unstable or testing repo be better than Linux Mint?
